Eventually the Institute of Incorporated Engineers (IIE) was founded whichbrought electrical, electronic and mechanical engineering technician institutions under one umbrella[9] 2. Subsequently the IIE merged with the Institution of Electrical Engineers to form theInstitution of Engineering and Technology (IET). It embraced technicians and technologists underthe same umbrella in several ways similar to the way American IEEE embraces graduates with fouryear engineering degrees and those with degrees in technology.

These are techniques foreffective meeting facilitation that I learned from engineers and policy makers thatinformed the instructional module later created for civil engineers. The first recommendations concern the arrangement and set up of the room. It iswise for the meeting facilitator to visit the site of the meeting before the day of themeeting so that they will know what the room set up looks like, what technology isavailable, and how many people can comfortably fit.
